I hate to admit it but Sassy was the perfect description of one of these dogs. She was pretty snappy and aggressive with food and just in general. My parents and I definitely made mistakes raising her. She never got completely out of hand and I don't recall her ever drawing blood. Obviously it's our fault, and I don't think she was very socialized either. But..yeah again, our fault. She was our first dog.

I don't plan on ever making those mistakes again, and I can't see myself having a small dog like that again anyway, but who knows. Mikey is 100% different. He doesn't get away with ANYTHING near as bad as Sassy did. He is perfectly socialized, doesn't have a MEAN bone in his body. He is the goofiest, sweetest dog around.
